Dear All thank you for your help  
I have a small movie where I rotate one circle and then want to rotate another circle to align to the first movie clips rotation .I can rotate the object no problems but when I want to align the rotation using the other movie clip I am having Problems.  
the Idea is once you select the card position(Heading ) the Conmpass then follows the card to show the correct heading at the top .

First Rotation is controlled by a button on press rotates card  
on release deletes onEnterFrame  
this.onEnterFrame=function(){  
wheel\_mc.\_rotation+=5;

}  
Second rotation also controlled by a button rotates compass  
if (this.card\_mc.\_rotation == this.compas\_mc.\_rotation) {  
gotoAndStop(1);// deletes on enter frame  
}  
this.onEnterFrame = function() {  
this.compas\_mc.\_rotation -= 5;  
};  
Any help appreciated
